Ramps are a safe and convenient method to get into or out of your vehicle or home. It is also possible to avoid puddles and mud, which can cause wheelchair users to lose their ability to walk and fall.

These ramps can be permanent, semi-permanent or mobile. They can be constructed of concrete, aluminum or even wood. Some portable ramps are foldable, making it easy to transport them.

Threshold Ramps

Even the tiniest physical obstruction can be dangerous and difficult for your handicapped loved one to move around an area. A doorway threshold raised above the surface of walking is among the most common barriers. Fortunately, Med Mart offers an affordable and practical solution with our ramps designed for doorway thresholds.

A threshold ramp for wheelchairs can be a simple and safe method of helping disabled individuals navigate rough surfaces. It creates a slightly inclined platform that bridges a gap between different floors or surfaces. These ramps are available in various sizes to meet your requirements. They are also portable and moved to different areas of the house when needed. Our ramps also comply with ADA guidelines and are the ideal solution for your loved one with disabilities to navigate over small steps, raised curbs or elevated landings.

We have a range of threshold ramps that are made of rubber and aluminum to suit your needs.

To determine how long of a ramp that you need just measure the distance from the surface of your walking to the edge of the threshold. Then subtract that measurement from ADA guidelines to determine the minimum length of ramp that you need. For example, if you have a threshold that's two inches high the ramp needs to be 12 inches long to meet ADA guidelines.

Portable Ramps

Wheelchair ramps offer a wide variety of mobility benefits for wheelchair users, making it easier for users to get into their cars, homes and public spaces. They create a gradual incline that can enable wheelchair users to get over barriers such as curbs, steps, and other obstacles. Some ramps could have safety features such as side rails or non-slip surfaces that reduce the risk of an accident. Many ramps for wheelchairs are movable and can be easily moved from one location to another, making them a convenient option for those who travel often or require ramps for multiple locations.

Portable wheelchair ramps come in a variety of styles, styles and capacities to meet the needs of each individual and conditions. They can be as small as tri-fold ramps to fit into the trunk of a car to 8 feet single fold ramps strong enough for everyday outdoor use. Some ramps are able to be rolled for storage and re-deployed with the click of a button. Others are made from lightweight aluminum with high-traction surfaces to minimize the risk of slips in any weather.

There are ramps that can be used as portable ramps for wheel chairs at numerous offline and online retailers. These include accessibility equipment stores, medical supply shops and home improvement stores. Many of these stores specialize in offering products that are compatible with certain disability types, and knowledgeable staff can help shoppers to determine the best ramp for their needs.

The most portable ramps are light and durable. They are also easy to transport. Choose ramps that can be split into two pieces (by removing a pin in the hinge in the middle) to make them lighter and easier to transport and store. They should have comfortable handles that allow for quick repositioning of the ramp and make sure it is placed safely over obstacles or steps.

Permanent Ramps

A ramp that is permanent is ideal when you have to use your wheelchair for a long period of time or if the requirements of your mobility change frequently. Residential ramps are available in a variety of sizes and styles, from threshold ramps for doors to ramps that are solid for stairs. There are also removable ramps and modular ramps that can be customized to your home's design.

The material you choose for your ramp also impacts its durability and how well it performs in different weather conditions. For instance galvanized ramps are much more durable than wood and are not susceptible to rot or insect damage. Aluminum ramps are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and reduce the risk of slipping. Some ramps have anti-slip decking to reduce the chance of slips during rain or snow.

When choosing a permanent ramp, consider the location and length of the ramp you need. Thresholds are perfect for doorways. Folding ramps work well for stairs. Solid ramps work well for stairs.

Take into consideration the dimensions of your chair and the way you intend to use it. If you use a motorized chair you'll need a larger capacity for weight than the person who uses manual chairs. If you must cross the ramp using your arms you may also require more space than someone who only uses their legs.

It is recommended that you purchase your ramp from a company that has a good track experience and a team of experienced experts. A dealer can help you select the best ramp and provide advice on installation, which is typically quick and simple. A certified dealer will offer better warranty coverage and customer service.

Rubber wheelchair ramps are a cost-effective and safe option to get over the threshold. The non-slip surface of the ramps prevents falls and slips even when they are wet. Rubber is also more durable than ramps made of metal which means it is able to stand up to extreme weather conditions and constant use. Rubber provides some shock absorption, which can help reduce injury and impact when a fall occurs.
